Abstract
The lab investigates pain-inducing and analgesic mechanisms, generated by the primary afferent neurons. This includes all types of pain, althouigh there is a particular expertise regarding (thermo-)TRP ion channels. Methods go all the way from molecular, cellular, tissue to human level.
Techniques
Molecular biology, Optical Imaging, Electrophyisology, Confocal Microscopy, Medium Throughput Substance testing, Psychophysiology
